Bought as a ‘basket case’. Made up from several cars. Previous owner fitted some new panels, however, most were put on wrong. I’ve been stockpiling parts from all over the globe. Have decided to fit Datsun A14 motor and 5 speed O/D box. I’m fitting 13″ wire wheels. Car will have Mk3 bonnet with Spit4 bumpers

23/03/2009: No work on car since Jan 2006! Has a more important project to spend all my ‘readies’ on. Back now in full force. Bonnet’s being finished, redesigned the engine mounts so there’s room for the extractors, and modifying the gearbox mounts to take the 5 speed. Once the bonnets back, the body can be fitted to ensure all lines up and it goes off for finishing. The moments its gone, the chassis gets stripped and painted and the rebuild STARTS!!
